Therapy for Infertility, Perinatal Mental Health, & the Challenges of Being Human
The journey is hard. But you can do hard things with the right therapist by your side.
“Be messy and complicated and afraid and show up anyway.”
~ Glennon Doyle
You shouldn’t have to go through what you’re going through.
I genuinely wish you didn’t have to. Take it from someone who’s been there. It really sucks. The curveballs life has thrown at you have worn you down and left you feeling hopeless, alone, and grieving for the beautiful life you imagined – the life you deserve.
But you don’t have to face life’s curveballs alone.
I’m holding a place for you at my practice. A safe, welcoming place where you can freely be who you want to be and where we can work through the stuck together.
My Specialties Are My Specialties for a Reason
Yes, I have advanced degrees. Yes, I’ve studied, learned, and earned a solid reputation in the fields of fertility counseling, perinatal counseling, and general mental health and wellness. Yes, I see you and genuinely think you are doing your best.
But that’s not what makes me unique as a therapist. That’s not what truly makes me an expert.
I can help you because I’ve walked the walk. I’ve experienced the crushing grief of infertility and the misery of endless rounds of IVF. The sadness, stress, confusion, anger, and perpetual disappointment – I’ve felt it all.
That’s what makes me an expert.
Wherever You Are On Your Journey, That’s Where I’ll Meet You
Whether you’re just starting your infertility journey, have lost count of what round of IVF you’re on, struggling while pregnant, or can’t seem to move forward, I’m here for you. Genuinely, honestly, and authentically.
Trauma. That’s why infertility is. And it’s a trauma you live over and over again with every monthly cycle, birth announcement, holiday you imagined celebrating as a mom, or question if you plan on having children. It’s excruciating, and it can seem like there’s absolutely no hope. But I’m here to offer you hope through compassionate, caring fertility counseling and support.
Together, we’ll explore your goals, desires, and emotions, as well as your options, all in an authentic and affirming environment. And if you need third-party reproduction support, I’m here to walk you through the thinking process so you can make the right decision for your family, whatever decision that may be.
So you got pregnant. Now what?! I’ll tell you what – it’s not all unicorns and rainbows, that’s for sure. The rose-colored glasses the world views pregnancy through is a load of you-know-what sometimes. Pregnancy is messy, unpredictable, challenging, and exhausting. That’s the reality of it.
Maybe you struggle with guilt and shame from some of the thoughts you have about being pregnant. Perhaps you had a traumatic birth experience. Or maybe you just can’t seem to dig yourself out of a bottomless, dark pit of depression or anxiety. Whatever you’re feeling or thinking, no matter what it is, it’s real, and you need a shoulder to cry on and a professional to guide you through it.
It’s easy to get stuck in unhealthy thinking and behavior patterns, watching the world pass you by. Anxiety, depression, disordering eating, trauma – it all robs you of the joy you so deserve. Your life is beautiful. You just need to get unstuck to see it.
I’ll help you work through the stuck so you can find your joy again and live the value-driven life you desire.
